Sheep Help

[Doc Hamm]

I recently came across a small sheep and am trying to locate a pattern. I was told this sheep was recently done in a carving class but am unable to locate the teacher and instructor. Any help would be appreciated.



I occasionally play a game called "Settlers of Catan" and one of the resources in the game is wool, often shown as sheep. I am hoping to make these small enough to fit on the custom game board I am trying to build.

You know, I could swear I saw that sheep before around here somewhere, but I'm unable to locate it. It looks like a sheep from Wallace and Gromit.

If I recall correctly, the latest issue of Woodcarving Illustrated Magazine says that there will be an article about carving that sheep (or a similar one?) in an upcoming (perhaps the next?) issue.

If you just want a sheep pattern and not necessarily one like you've shown, have you checked out nativity scene patterns? A lot of them include sheep.

Looks pretty easy to carve from just the picture. Looks like golf tees for legs. Sort out the size (use the tees for reference, or carve to size you want) and your good to go.

that sheep is upcoming in the next issue of WCI.

puts me in mind of the Serta mattress comercial.

Yes, this sheep does look like 'Shaun' from Nick Park's Wallace & Grommit series, except Shaun is white. Most of the sheep at the show were white.

Yes, golf tees for legs which will be perfect for my game board. I can put little round indents for them for stand in. It's a perfect fit for the game.

If it's in the next issue of WCI, that's great. I hoped to work on them in Dec, but I can wait. Patience is a virtue, but it's hard when you've got the carving bug!

Thanks all!

I accept with information: Looks pretty easy to carve from just the picture. Looks like golf tees for legs.
